Management of Renal Disease
Summary
- Ability of cystatin C to act as a true marker of kidney function limited by the effects of processes other than kidney function, such as inflammation and apoptosis
- Its use among persons with HIV infection, particularly those with high HIV-1 RNA levels, is questionable and is not recommended[Bhasin 2013]
- Combined eGFR creatinine–cystatin C equation is most accurate in HIV-positive patients
